So I need money and I agreed to remove this girl's tint from her 4 door Accord. It's a nice show car with a whole bunch of mods. I'm suppose to remove the tint and detail the interior on Saturday.



I did my home work and I found this website (searched the autopia forum):

<http://www.tintdude.com/remove.html>



It doesn't look too bad but I wanted to get some tips from here and see what you guys think I should charge. $30-$40?? By the hour??



Also I have access to one of those steamers that is used to steam wrinkles out of clothes (there's even a picture of one on the weblink above). Anyone have experience with this??



Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Grasp an edge of the tint with a razor, careful not to scratch the glass. Once you have a small piece of it, just rip it awaa. Of course you will have to continue this process to do the whole window. Any remaining glue can also be scraped away with the razor. To finish up, use a solvent like 3m's tar/adhesive remover. I watched my tint guy do it this way, after being cited by the Calif Highway Patrol....He charged me a whopping $10.00 and was done in 20 minutes.......Also, if you prefer, put on the adhesive remover after removing the tint, this will soften it up before you use the razor...
 
I just removed the tint from my car using the steam method. I think it works well for a rear window with defroster lines - no danger of cutting a line.
 
Steam defenitely sounds good for the rear. But what about price?? How much do I charge?? I don't think this is going to be a 20 min job, so $10 sounds too cheap.

for the left glue use a touch glass or any other glass cleaner u will find in schnucks or any other store.
